Summary

Puesta del Sol Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 609 students in the Victor Elementary district of Victorville, facing significant academic challenges with proficiency rates well below state averages and a chronic absenteeism rate of 34%.

Academically, the school is among the lowest-performing in the area, with only 8% of students proficient in math and 19.5% in English, placing it near schools like Brentwood Elementary and Del Rey Elementary. Despite receiving the highest per-student funding ($20,951) among comparable local schools, outcomes remain low. The school shows particularly volatile results in supporting specific student groups, such as special education students, whose performance ranking has dropped dramatically in recent years.

A striking comparison is Sixth Street Prep, located just over a mile away, which achieves much higher academic results with similar student demographics and less funding, suggesting different approaches can yield better outcomes. The strong correlation between high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance seen at Puesta del Sol and nearby schools indicates that improving attendance could be a key area for potential improvement.
